My Dish signal is pretty reliable. It is normally about 123 and 100 on the weaker bird. I lost the signal twice during 2 severe t-storm warnings. We had some more severe t-storms through here this morning and the signal stayed. I decided to check it to see where it was and the storm knocked it down to the 60's. If I added one of those RCA inline digital satellite amps would that help boost the signal during severe weather, or are they just intended for long RG-6 runs?
